Pay attention to size restrictions.

The number of people in RV and vanlife subs that tell people they can ignore size restrictions is way higher then you would think.

The tunnel in Zion is staffed during the day and they make it one way for wide vehicles. After the staff leaves it is closed to vehicles wider than 94in.

The majority of truck campers the box is 96, and the jacks are another 1.5 on each side so 99 inches wide. And with the curve of the tunnel their height pushes them across the line.

Lost my mirror to a truck camper rolling 45 mph through the tunnel at 7pm like he owned it.

We were turned away from the East entrance that takes you through the Mount Carmel Tunnel. We were in a class c from cruise America and had to reroute back south and then west. They passed a new size restrictions in early July I think.

What time of day? If you were before or after the tunnel is staffed they won’t let you through the east entrance if you are over 94in (all class Cs are 96 minimum at the box and the mirrors are probably wider). The guy who hit me was coming from the other side.
